St. Teresa of Avila

 Catholic Community

ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 15 FROM 9 AM - 11 AM WE WILL HAVE A COVID-19 VACCINATION CLINIC IN CHARTZ HALL.  ALL THOSE WHO HAVE NOT YET BEEN VACCINATED OR NEED THEIR SECOND SHOT ARE WELCOME. NO APPOINTMENT IS NECESSARY!

           Cessation of Dispensation
Brothers and sisters in Christ,
At the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, I granted to all Catholics in the Diocese of Reno a general dispensation from the obligation of attending Sunday Mass. Since there has been a significant decline in the number of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths due to the novel Coronavirus in our region, and given the lifting of mitigation restrictions, this dispensation will cease on July 1, 2021.
I encourage all Catholics to return to the practice of in-person participation in the Sunday Eucharist. The experience of the pandemic underscores the need for us to gather together physically for worship and the sacraments.
The safety of all continues to be a priority as we gather. For this reason, I encourage all to get vaccinated if they have not already done so.
Some of the faithful cannot attend Mass in person due to illness or other health issues. Obviously, they are not obligated to attend Mass for this reason. They are asked to engage in appropriate prayer in honor of the Lord’s Day.
In Christ,
Bishop Randolph R. Calvo

Due to substantial or high transmission of Covid 19, Nevada Emergency Directive 045 goes into effect starting Friday, July 30, and will be for seven of the twelve counties comprising the Diocese of Reno:  Carson, Churchill, Douglas, Elko, Lyon, Mineral, and Washoe.
 
The directive requires all persons, vaccinated or unvaccinated, to wear masks at public indoor gatherings.
 
The new diocesan protocol, therefore, is that all persons, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated, wear masks when participating at indoor Masses and other liturgies and all indoor gatherings.  This protocol applies to the seven counties identified by the state.
 
I know we are all tired of these restrictions, but the key to stopping the spread of Covid 19 is within our reach: vaccination.  We encourage parishioners who are not vaccinated to do so.  Concern for one another’s health and safety comes from Christ’s command to love one another.
 
Thank you.
 

Good afternoon,

We have truly been blessed with Bishop Calvo’s leadership over the years and I am looking forward to furthering the ministry of Catholic education with our incoming Bishop, too.    I met him briefly this morning and anticipate a short meeting tomorrow. 
 
As additional information becomes available, I will share it with you.
 
Blessings to all and thank you for your dedication and commitment to Catholic education.
 
In Christ,
